Obviously, not all ferrries are the same. The low speed was indeed to account for loading time. max & min is fine, but doesn't account for time of day / no ferry for 5 hours. Timetables can vary quite frequently. I can't think of any way other than a link to the operator's URL that's going to allow this to actually, really, work for timings, so some sort of guide value is required - I do think this should be per route not generic, the average I alluded to earlier is in the nature of a fix because right now, I haven't seen an OSM-based router route on ferries at all, so a silly time is better than avoiding it altogether.
